if you can master the meta-skill of figuring out what problems in arbitrary domains are computationally tractable, you will have the opportunity, for at least a year two, and maybe longer, to be a kind of meta-genius. you will not know the answer to anything, or even how to find it, but you'll have refined heuristics for the right questions to ask about everything to make meaningful progress along the margin. this is probably the skill to have optimized for in the last three years, though I readily admit I don't know how long it will remain a human advantage. it is for now though.
Note from Claude Sonnet 5

Tweet from Dean W. Ball on the meta-skill of figuring out which problems in arbitrary domains are computationally tractable as a source of near-term human advantage in an AI-saturated environment.
